SouthernWorldwide.com – TNA Wrestling star A.J. Francis has made a bold prediction for his upcoming SacTown Street Fight against KC Navarro, stating it’s “going to be crazy.” The highly anticipated match is set to take place on Thursday night at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, California.
Francis expressed his belief that Navarro’s current opportunities are a direct result of his influence. He pointed out Navarro’s own acknowledgments of the hard bumps he took from Francis and the things he did for him. Francis, however, downplayed these contributions, characterizing Navarro as merely a “shadow” who learned a lot from him and is in his current position because of him.
“KC was just another guy in the back they had nothing for until I needed somebody to stand next to me,” Francis stated. He acknowledged that Navarro is now getting an opportunity to showcase his abilities but lamented that it will be against him. Francis vowed to “beat him within an inch of his life,” emphasizing his consistent ability to deliver in high-stakes matches.
“It’s going to be crazy. I’m going to put KC out of his misery,” Francis declared. He further elaborated on his intentions, suggesting that after the match, Navarro might resort to changing his appearance, like dyeing his hair, in an attempt to distance himself from the experience.
This intense rivalry stems from Navarro’s recent promo on “Impact,” where he accused Francis of taking advantage of him. Navarro also mentioned a vow made to his “sick” uncle to return to the ring sooner rather than later after suffering a torn ACL. However, Francis dismissed these sentiments.
“Nobody cares when it’s me going through something but I’m supposed to care because KC’s got a sick uncle,” Francis retorted. He cynically added, “I hope his sick uncle has AMC in his hospital so he could watch me beat his nephew within an inch of his life.”
Francis made it clear that reconciliation with Navarro is out of the question. He expressed a strong desire for Navarro to experience the worst and to learn a valuable lesson from the upcoming confrontation.
“I wish KC nothing but the worst. I hope that going forward he learns a lesson after this a—whooping I put down on him on Thursday and that he realizes to never cross me again,” he said. Francis detailed specific instances where he felt Navarro had cost him significant opportunities.
These included missing out on a major win at Rebellion and a chance at tag team titles at Slammiversary last year due to Navarro’s injury. He also cited a missed opportunity for NXT tag team titles during crossover matches with WWE, again attributing the setback to Navarro’s injury.
“He’s been nothing but a disappointment,” Francis stated emphatically. He recalled Navarro’s debut match with First Class, where he was pinned, losing their only singles tag team title match. Francis concluded that Navarro has been a consistent disappointment since they first met and expressed his eagerness to be done with him after Thursday’s match.
